hi peeches, once you get to the soft foods stage you will say hey the liquid phase is not so bad...i am on the soft foods now as i am almost 3 weeks post op and i really cant eat a whole lot....eggs are about the only thing that agrees with me....your belly will hurt so bad that you'd rather eat foods that you know you can tolerate....hang in there...it only gets better...

Hang in there you can do this. I know how you feel though. I wanted to do that, but I know me, I would have swallowed that chicken and turkey.
That's funny.....that thought crossed my mind yesterday. Almost absentmindedly put something in my mouth, but stopped myself. Then later thought, "Hmmmm, I could put it in my mouth and chew it, then spit it out...." . I haven't done that yet, but I see no harm in it. Please don't accidentally swallow!
